Electric Power

1 Power sources - Use on batteries or AC house current,

as specified in the Operating Instructions and marked on the unit.

2 Polarization - As a safety feature, some units are

equipped with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please call a qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet.

3 AC power cord

- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.

- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this could result in fire or shock.

- Power cords should be firmly secured to avoid being bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord from the unit to the power socket.

- Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.

4 Extension cord - To help prevent electric shock, do not

use a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades

of the plug.

5 When not in use - Unplug the AC power cord from the

AC outlet or remove all the batteries if the unit will not be

used for several months or more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned off.

WHAT IS AN MD (MINI DISC}?

An MD is only 64 mm (2% inches) in diameter, about half the

size of a conventional CD. But an MD can be used to store

and playback a full 74 minutes of data such as a CD. Unlike

a CD, an MD comes in a plastic cartridge, so that it can be handled with ease. The cartridge also protects the disc inside

from shocks, dust and scratches. Unlike cassette tapes,

which can become stretched or tangled, an MD is an excellent durable media.

There are two types of MDs: “Optical discs” and “Magneto optical discs”. Both types use laser beams and optical pick up technology to read recorded data during playback.

Optical discs

These are playback only discs. Like CDs, they are used as prerecorded music discs. You cannot record or edit them.

The shutter covers the opening only on the non labeled side of the MD.

Recordable MO*^ discs

These are recordable discs which can be recorded on again and again, like cassette tapes. The recording method called magneto-optical technology employs a laser and magnetism to record signals. Therefore, the quality of recorded sound does not deteriorate even after many playbacks and

recordings.

♦

Label

MO: An abbreviation of Magneto Optical

ISscI

The shutter covers the

■ opening on both sides of the MD.

Recording on the MD is performed differently from that of a cassette tape or a DAT. Therefore, the MD system is subject to the following restrictions.

“Toe* Full” Is displayed even if the recording time does

not reach the maximum recordable time of the disc (60-

minute or 74-minute)

“Toe Full” is displayed when 254 tracks are already recorded

on a disc, without respect to the recording time. * Toe: An abbreviation of Table Of Contents.

“Toe Full” is displayed even if a disc is not fully

recorded on

If there are lots of emphasis data in a particular track, the

unit handles the data as index codes, and tracks are counted, in addition, without respect to the time and number of tracks.

The remaining time on a disc is not increased even after

some short tracks have been erased

When the remaining time on a disc is displayed, It may not

be Increased even after erasing short tracks because the

sections less than eight seconds are not counted.

Tracks cannot be joined (the COMBINE function does

not function)

Tracks created by editing may not be joined.

The total of the recorded time and the remaining time on a disc does not match the maximum recordable time of the disc (60-minute or 74-minute)

Recording is performed in a minimum unit of one cluster (two

seconds). Even if the recorded section is shorter than two

seconds, a two-second space is needed in recording.

Therefore, the available time becomes shorter.

Track numbers may not be registered properly

When recording from a CD with CD ► MD, small tracks may

be created depending on the contents of a CD.

In addition, track numbers may not be registered properly

depending on the contents of the CD.

Ultra compact size made possible by ATRAC*^ technology

A newly developed digital audio compression technology called the ATRAC system automatically extracts only the frequencies that are actually audible to the human ear and cuts the frequencies which are inaudible. This compresses the amount of data to be recorded to 1/5 of the normal amount. The ATRAC system is based upon studies carried out in the field of auditory psychology and does not impair the quality of the audible sound.

ATRAC: An abbreviation of Adaptive TRansform Acoustic

Coding

Quick random access

One of the great features of the MD is that you can search for desired tracks quickly. There are also quick and easy functions for random playback, in which the order of the tracks can be rearranged at random, and for renumbering

tracks enabling them to be played in any order.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Occasional care and maintenance of the unit and the software are needed to optimize the performance of your unit.

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft and dry cloth.

If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could damage the finish of the unit.

Care of CDs

• When a CD becomes dirty, wipe the CD from the center out with a cleaning cloth.

• After playing a CD, store the CD in its case. Do not leave the CD in places that are hot or humid.

Care of MDs

Since MDs come in a cartridge which protects the discs inside from fingerprints and dust, you do not have to be overly careful when handling them. However, soiled or damaged cartridges can lead to malfunctions in the unit. Observe the following tips when handling MDs.

• Keep a cartridge in the attached case.

• Do not open the shutter of the cartridge to touch the disc

directly. If the disc inside becomes soiled, it is very difficult to clean. The cartridge can also be damaged.

• Close the shutter if it opens while handling or ejecting a

disc. Otherwise dust may enter or a disc may become scratched.
